Into the Unknown's latest Brazilian adventure is more than a clarion call demanding you get out there and learn what you don’t know — It is also a funny, poignant, ambitious filmmaking journey rooted in genuine curiosity for understanding cultures different than our own. We hope watching these adventures does for you what it did for many of our closest friends: Fill you with the urge to pack a bag and take off — with the goal of better understanding the world around you. With a heavy focus on conservation awareness, a hunger for adventure, and a joy for learning — watch Matthew explore the Amazon rain forest, work with bird biologists & conservationists, tour some of Brazil's largest cities, document the continued deforestation of the Amazon & examine the impacts of short-sighted policy / decisions by the Brazilian government.
